Ebola: Germany accepts infected patient for treatment

As medical services across Europe are on high alert to prevent any risk of Ebola spreading here, a hospital in Germany accepts a patient with the virus

With medical services across Europe on high alert to prevent any risk of the Ebola virus spreading here, a hospital in Germany has agreed to accept an infected patient for treatment.

More than 670 people have died so far in West Africa, as doctors struggle to contain the deadliest outbreak of the virus in history.

The country of Liberia has closed most of its borders to prevent the spread of the disease.

But, amid speculation their patient may be one of the world’s leading Ebola experts, doctors in Germany insist there is no risk of the infection spreading from him.
